Reviews

Great tutoring experience

Ken tutored me years ago when I was in middle school. He did a great job teaching complicated scientific concepts in fun ways. The highlight of his lessons for me were the live demos that he incorporated, such as bottle rockets or coke and mentos explosions, which he fully explained in a clear and concise way. Ken helped to nurture my interest in science and in the way things work, and that is something that I expect to maintain through college and beyond. I would highly recommend his tutoring to anyone wanting help with material and also to those seeking knowledge beyond the curriculum.
